'The Handmade Dress' Patterns GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.

If you've ever longed to start a generous library of little girl dress patterns today is your lucky day!

Samantha of The Handmade Dress is offering one of EACH of her sweet patterns to a lucky Grosgrain reader. This includes the Miss Molly, Miss Madeline, Miss Lily, Miss Iris, and Miss Alice Patterns. Over a $50 value!

I really liked the way Samantha's patterns were so varied and country-chic. So many varieties you could get out of this giveaway!




Pictured above is a sweet little peasant style dress with options for a contrasting waistband or apron. There are instructions for making an apron or you can use up your stash of vintage hankies or tea towels! What a beautiful way to use Grandmas hankies!


Free embroidery design included!


Pictured to the right is the Miss Lily Pattern. This is a precious, quick and easy dress with a bubble hem and a peasant style gathered top. Miss Lily looks great in a variety of different style fabrics including heirloom, vintage, retro, or trendy.





Create your own style in just a couple of hours! Miss Lily is a quick and easy project with no placket or buttonholes! Detailed instructions and color illustrations are included for easy construction.

Pictured to the left is the “Miss Alice” pattern. It is a quick and easy (2 hour project!) tie over the shoulder sundress or jumper with a sweet little shaped yoke and optional belt.

The dress looks adorable worn over a shirt for winter or worn as a sundress. Detailed instructions and illustrations are included for easy construction.

Most patterns run from infant sizes to pre-teen.

Samantha, a stay-at-home homeschooling mama
to three children Molly, Timothy, and Madeline, firefighters wife, church going, dress making, thrifting, homeschooling, fabric junkie, started designing and then selling her dress patterns and is now working to raise money to adopt a sibling group from Bulgaria.

Follow their adoption journey here.



Says Samantha, "
Finally we are seeing and understanding more of his [God's] plan for "Our Handmade Family". It may not be the traditional family we always thought we would have, but it will be in His Will....Just Perfect."


If you'd like to win this gift certificate just link to this post either using the 'create a link' at the bottom of this post or simply creating a post on your blog and including this link.


If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link at the top. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post.
